Emissions Test Compliance Electromagnetic Environment Guidance RF emissions CISPR 11 RF emissions CISPR 11 Harmonic emissions IEC Voltage fluctuations/flicker emissions IEC Group 1 Class A Class A Complies The Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment. The Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs are suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. 9.2 GUIDANCE AND MANUFACTURER S DECLARATION The Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs should assure that it is used in such an environment.

27 9.3 GUIDANCE AND MANUFACTURER S DECLARATION ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY The Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs should assure that it is used in such an environment. Immunity Test Conducted RF IEC Radiated RF IEC IEC Test Level 3 Vrms 150 khz to 80MHz 3 V/m 80 MHz to 2,5 GHz Compliance Level 3 vrms 3 V/m Electromagnetic Environment Guidance Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Recommended separation distance d = 1.2 P d = 1.2 P 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2.3 P 800 MHz to 2,5 ghz where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (w) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocation the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs. b Over the frequency range 150 khz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

28 9.4 RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN PORTABLE AND MOBILE RF COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND HAUSTED APC SERIES MODELS AND SURGI-CHAIRS The Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Hausted APC Series Models and Surgi-Chairs as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. Rated maximum output power of transmitter (W) Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m) 150 khz to 80 MHz d = 1.2 P 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 1.2 P 800 MHz to 2,5 GHz d = 2.3 P 0, , For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer. NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. APC-US-INS-LAB-RevB14 28
